Cats hate the smell of grapefruit.  (Not only is it a deterrent, but it is used in commercial cleaners for animals stains as it has bacteria killing properties). Perhaps you can find a way to put the smell outside of the cabinet, even cotton balls in small fabric bags, hung from door knobs or a

I would agree as the two main laces of that period were reticle la and punto in aria (which I think predictive text has just changed the name of again but it's late and I'm too tired to fight). So, I'd say Reticella. Kind Regards Liz Baker On 7 Apr 2013, at 23:59, lbuy...@nc.rr.com wrote:

I was looking at the picture. I suspect one could copy the lace from what is in the picture, although I don't know enough about needlelace to be sure. If the artist was so concerned with the lace that he paints it so exquisitely, it must have been important not only to him, but to his subject

I am almost 100% sure it's reticello and punto in aria. All of the elements are very much in keeping with the time, and the patterns of the late 1500's to early 1600's. And now, you've got me thinking I might do this for a friend, rather than the pattern I was going to do for a partlet. It's a

AI think your description of 'grill' matches ours (USA) of 'broiler'. The broiler is the top element in an oven, used on high setting. It cooks fast, from the top. We use 'grill' for cooking on a rack over heat (like an outdoor barbecue) and sometimes on a frying surface that has raised

To me, a griddle is a frying surface. Home griddles are often a rectangular pan that sits across two burners on a stove. Some stoves have a griddle in the middle, between the burners. Commercial units are just a large frying surface. Put 'griddle' in the eBay Search and see the variety of

We have a 1923 Glenwood Utility stove (gas and wood-burning). The oven compartment doubles as the broiler. The oven heats from a burner underneath the oven bottom, whereas the burner for the broiler is in the oven compartment on the ceiling. It's an incredibly intense heat, and any recipe
